Chloe Kim is doing to Twitter right now what she did to that halfpipe in PyeongChang.
You know, on Sunday I was watching Olympic programming on NBC during the day, and they announced results of other sports than the ones they were showing. And those sports were later shown in primetime tv on NBC. So if you had been watching all day, you had that same channel already ruin for you what happened.
Can't wait for USA curling! Time to go back to back golds!Olympics begin! I love the winter olympics. So many good events!
Do you believe in miracles?I hate the NHL for ruining one of the the best events. Any Olympic competition without the best of that game available is pointless.
I agree it is annoying not having the NHL players there. I am sure Bettman wanted the players there to get free advertisment for the league, but they had to make up the 50 cancelled games, they couldn't extend the season as the arena have already booked events post NHL playoffs. If a player tested positive or was in close contact, they have to isolate for 14 dasys so teams could lose star players for an additional two weeks. That's tough call for the league. It pains me to defend Gary Bettman.I hate the NHL for ruining one of the the best events. Any Olympic competition without the best of that game available is pointless.
Yep. Might as well have not bothered holding off on that invasion.Russia's unintentional sabotage of the CCP Olympics by having a cheating meltdown, that also exposes the child abuse prevalent in Women's Figure Skating, is perfectly satisfying.

I was not aware until the past week of how terrible that sport has become. As I understand it, the currently expected jumps put too much strain on the athletes' bodies, and the only way to perform at that level without injury is to combine the weight of a 12 year old girl with the muscles of a 23 year old woman, and they get that by trotting out doped and starved 14-16 year olds. It is hideous.Watching that event, it really did feel like a form of child torture. That is a sport that just needs to be completely cleaned out.
Second worst to FIFA?Watching that event, it really did feel like a form of child torture. That is a sport that just needs to be completely cleaned out.
I love the Olympics -- especially the Winter Olympics; the sports are almost universally a blast. But this has been an awful Olympics for so many reasons. So much cynicism in putting the Olympics in China. The IOC is the worst.
I just knew she failed a test from a December sample, whose results did not come back until the middle of the Olympic games for some reason.I did hear an interesting explanation of the reason the Russian skater was allowed to compete. Apparently there was such a delay in testing her sample that they still had not tested her backup sample - the "B" sample. Failing both is necessary to suspend someone.
I don't know the details and perhaps this is already well known, but I hadn't heard it before.
